Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3383073A1] Disclosed are a charging method and device configured to realize charging for a local service without affecting an existing charging procedure when a service platform is deployed at a base station side. The charging method of the invention comprises: when a mobile edge computing gateway (MEC-GW) determines that a user equipment (UE) is to be charged for a local service, transmitting, to a mobile edge computing (MEC) server, a message requesting calculation of local service information associated with the UE; receiving, by the MEC-GW, local service calculation information associated with the UE transmitted by the MEC server, and generating, according to the local service calculation information associated with the UE, a charging data record for the local service associated with the UE; and transmitting, by the MEC-GW, the charging data record for the local service to a charging gate (CG).
